are particularly graceful, that of Hirundo domicola (javanica, 
Sparrm.) may be especially mentioned. 
As a record of the fact that Chelidon urbica occurs in Te- 
nasserim, an example there obtained, is figured. Cotyle con- 
color and C. rupestris are taken out of Boie’s genus and 
formed into a separate genus, for which the title of Kywz- 
nochelidon is proposed—a generic division already antreipated 
by Reichenbach, who entitled it Ptyonoprogne. 
The genus Dendrochelidon (Macropteryz) is retained among 
the true Swallows (and not, as by most writers, among the 
Swifts). 
Seven species of Swifts are well represented by as many 
drawings. Among these are Acanthylis caudacuta from Dar- 
jeelmg, and A. sylvatica, from the type specimen, killed by 
Colonel Tickell at Chilpil, Smgbhoom, Nov. 30, 1835. A. 
very good plate shows Collocala nidifica (francica, Gm.) 
breeding on rocks near Akyab, Arracan, and a male bird in 
the act of flying. Colonel Tickell remarks, “TI carefully 
compared a specimen I had shot at Darjeeling, August 8, 
1848, with a pair brought to me in Akyab, Jan. 9, 1852, and 
found them precisely similar in plumage, and in dimensions ~ 
also, within a minute fraction.’ The dimensions are then 
stated; and the differences are trifling. Interesting facts 
concerning this species are related in the letterpress. A 
good account and plate is given of Cypselus vittatus ( pacificus) 
as observed in Tenasserim. 
The Bee-eaters and Rollers, which are nearly all figured, 
are followed by the Kingfishers—the first plate representing 
the Burman Pelargopsis burmanicus, Sharpe, under the name 
of Halcyon leucocephalus, Linn., from a Tenasserim example, 
and the next the Indian form, with the correct title, H. gu- 
rial, Pearson. : 
Six species of Bucerotide are depicted, and first B. bicornis 
¢, about to feed the female on the nest, immured in the 
hole of a tree. A. detailed account of the breeding of this
